1960's Linens

Linens straight from an estate sale on Saturday.

A 1960's apron with Ric Rac. 

Look at the fabric. 

It has a clock and a cake on a pedestal.

A sweet little kitchen valance.

 If it would fit over my sink it would be there but it is not wide enough.

Clovis is attempting to get in the shot. See his tail on the left?

An embroidered pillow case and a cross stitched tablecloth.

All of them have been soaked in hot water and OxyClean. 

Now they are air drying. 

Then I iron. 

Ironing is my favorite step after finding them.

 I noticed my watermarks are crazy different. I am back at Photoscape for editing my images and have nearly forgotten how to use the site. Apparently I have forgotten how to watermark. 

To add to that I changed my header and it is way off center as you can see. The beautiful header is by Diane Cayton-Haykey of the Dish blog. Totally need to do something with that ad and learn how to fix that header but I am off to the bookstore to trade a Jeep full of books. Then we are looking for a chest for our bedroom. I will be back later tonight.

Breadboard

 I had been looking at breadboards online but I could not afford them. 

Can we agree they are pricey?

This one is made in Hungary with wood from an old building.

It was at the Williams Sonoma Outlet and was 75% off. I paid $40.00. 

It was the most expensive item I purchased on our trip to North Georgia. 

The regular price was $159.00

Joe found this odd little galvanized piece at an estate sale 

and it appears to be some kind of baking pan. 

The breadboard makes for a textured back drop for vignettes on this table.

The roses are from our garden.

Sunday Prayer

Dear Lord, thank you because your love never runs out 

and your mercies are new every morning. 

Great is your faithfulness. 

I am sticking with you (I say it over and over). 

You are all I have.

Amen

A prayer adapted by me from

Lamentations 3:22-24 The Message Bible 

Go here for the last Sunday prayer and flowers.

Ironstone Butter Dish

The ironstone butter dish I bought at the porch sale ended up on our bar.

Next to a Reed and Barton pitcher and a tin of French tea.

Do you see the Red Velvet Cake?

 My resolve not to have cake evaporated. 

For anyone who may not know Red Velvet Cake is really a chocolate cake in disguise.

 It is difficult to resist.

CC and I have been having a blast.

 Thanks to all of you for commenting on her Korean soccer picture in the last post. 

Joe and I are going to garage sales in the morning.
Are you going out this weekend? 
Do share in the comments.

happy hunting
